EPISODE 118 The Dead Zone: Runoff in our Waterways

SHARE

Nitrogen and phosphorus pollution is wreaking havoc on our waterways – notably in the Gulf of Mexico, the Chesapeake Bay, and the Great Lakes – and is getting worse every year. Science journalist Virgina Gewin discusses the extent of the problem, remedies that will drastically improve the sustainability of current farming practices, and what it will take for widespread adoption of these innovative methods. Later in the show, Edible Brooklyn’s Editor-in-Chief Ariel Lauren Wilson joins Jenna in the studio to talk about their upcoming Food Loves Tech conference happening on November 2nd and 3rd.
